Schloss Fronberg is a castle in Schwandorf in Bavaria.

History

The estate was constructed in 1305. The lords of the castle and bailiffs of Mappenberg rebuilt it after a fire. It partly burned again in 1594. In 1622-1829 the castle and its lands belonged to the barons von Spiering, then Countess von Holnstein, born Baroness von Spiering.

The Countess lived with her lover, Baron von Kunsberg, whom she married before dying. She is one of the women whose portrait appears in the gallery of beauties from Nymphenburg Castle, commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The castle then passed to his descendants, the Kunsberg von Fronberg barons. It was acquired in 1875 by Baron von Breidbach-Bürresheim, whose descendants continue to reside in the castle.

The castle was restored in 1992. The family regularly organizes concerts, medieval shows and plays for the public.
